Well I think we need to call our Governors because we the people need support. HOUSE AND SENATE IS NOT DOING THEIR JOB. THESE ACTS MUST BE STOPPED.

And this one's done! I think I'll take a break now because this is all I've been doing all week and I just finished going through a 130K-word book, I am tired. Updated files should be populating and the Zon should have the print updated soon.
The full-wrap cover for Emperor's Tomb, the third Livi Talbot book. It has a chonky spine. This time the image is lighter with mist around mountains in China and a dark-haired woman with a machete standing atop one of the mountains in the foreground.

Remembering last Christmas with Mom and stepdad Elwood. Mom loved Christmas. Miss her holiday Christmas rolls filled with tons of butter, brown sugar, walnuts, and topped with cream cheese. Miss her little gifts.
